Volunteer Spotlight - Lin Chu

Lin has been a Raptor Trust Volunteer since 2017, but she first heard of us 10 years ago when she brought her son to a scout program with our Education Center. She was so impressed with the work and the mission at TRT that, when time permitted, she applied to volunteer in our Receptionist position. Lin is still so impressed with TRT's conservation mission that she recommends everyone volunteer so they can see first-hand how to help preserve our native birds.

While Lin loves Great-Horned owls, her favorite part of being here is the people: the staff and volunteers who are here helping birds every day, but also the finders who stop everything they are doing to drive up to two hours to help a bird in need. She also appreciates the Animal Control Organizations and transport volunteers who are so critical to helping out local birds get the help they need.

When she is not at The Raptor Trust, Lin focuses on creating habitats for her backyard birds through gardening. The same time, effort, planning, and diligent care that she shows here, she puts into her garden. Always a friend to the animals, Lin also loves her cats. In fact, Lin credits her garden and her cats with keeping her sane through the pandemic. 

Thank you Lin for all your hard work at The Raptor Trust!
